Stratospheric Eclipse Flights #1, #2 and #3 : North Atlantic Ocean
Watch a beautiful four-minute total solar eclipse from a stratospheric location 49,000 feet above the North Atlantic Ocean. Dark and transparent sky is what you’ll get, not the questionnable weather expected from the ground locations. Please read the planning of this eclipse flight.

The exclusive stratospheric eclipse flights #1 and #2 from Paris-Le Bourget are fully booked. The stratospheric eclipse flight #3 from Geneva-Cointrin is now fully booked as well. However a fourth Falcon 7X will be available for booking if the demand is strong enough, so hurry up to reserve your seat and window. Contrary to ground locations, those flights provide for the longest possible totality duration, a perfectly clear and dark sky with the eclipsed Sun perpendicular to the windows during totality, the viewing of the pre-totality approach, and post-totality recession, of the Moon’s shadow projected on the Earth below and in the sky above.
